About Penn State Health Holy Spirit Medical Center

Penn State’s Holy Spirit Medical Center has a behavioral health clinic in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania. They have outpatient and inpatient programs for medical and mental health. Since 1971, they’ve been serving adults and teens. Among their programs are tracks for Spanish speakers and the LGBTQ+ community.

The residential program is intended for clients ages 4 and older. Depending on your age group, you’ll have a specific track. In all programs, you’ll have therapy, but teens ages 14 and older, along with adults, may be eligible for electroconvulsive therapy. If you’re still in school, they’ll coordinate your care with your educators so you won’t fall behind. The behavioral health department may coordinate your care with other hospital branches, including surgery and primary care, if needed.

When you complete the inpatient program, you’ll downscale to an outpatient program. There are different options, depending on your condition. A day program is available to adults along with an eating disorder track for kids and teens. In contrast, a more traditional outpatient program provides cognitive behavioral therapy and classes to manage your anger and stress. Specific options include anxiety and sleep medicine for children and a geriatrics course for seniors.

Holy Spirit has a wide range of services. However, several past clients have left mixed reviews. Check out their feedback to make sure it’s a good fit for your needs.

Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

inpatient iconInpatient Rehab

Inpatient rehab provides clients with an opportunity to focus solely on their sobriety away from the stressors of the home and workplace. Clients receive housing, food, and intensive clinical supervision. They also typically engage in multiple addiction counseling sessions each week, including daily individual, group, and/or family sessions. Most programs also prioritize recovery-focused life skills training, including courses in relapse prevention. Many facilities offer evidence-based holistic therapies, such as yoga and meditation.

heart-hands iconIntervention Services

Intervention services bring extensive experience to the planning and conducting of drug interventions in Pennsylvania. These experts can facilitate interventions in a sensitive manner that encourages positive outcomes. The goal of the intervention is to educate the individual about addiction and the consequences of their substance use and encourage them to get the treatment they need. Interventions can be effective with all types of drugs and alcohol addiction.

partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program

With a partial hospitalization program (PHP), you can participate in intensive rehabilitation treatment with the ability to return home at the end of the day. For a weekly minimum of 20 hours, a partial hospitalization program can take place up to 5 days a week for an average of 90 days. During PHP treatment, you can receive relapse prevention strategies, medication management, individual and group therapy, and other behavioral therapy interventions.

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

A medical detox is the safest way to wean your body off drugs and/or alcohol in an inpatient setting. When detoxing from addictive substances, the physical and psychological side effects of withdrawal can cause mood swings, anxiety, nausea, or flu-like symptoms. In medically assisted detox, a team of medical professionals are on hand 24/7 to help alleviate potential withdrawal symptoms, administer medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms, and ultimately keep you safe and comfortable throughout this process.

Heart icon Treatment

check iconDual Diagnosis

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

mental-health iconMental Health

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

dialectical iconDialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical behavior therapy in Pennsylvania is an evidence based technique that involves group therapy, individual therapy, and phone coaching. Group sessions focus on learning behavioral skills. Individual therapy gives you the opportunity to apply what you're learning to your personal situations. Phone coaching allows you to call your therapist during the week for help with challenging situations.

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

family iconFamily Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

desert iconMotivational Interviewing

Motivational interviewing in Pennsylvania gives you the opportunity to share your perspective and explore your ideas and motivation for change. Your therapist will walk you through the four steps of engaging, focusing, evoking, and planning to empower you to make any desired changes in your life.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

It is important to process the impact that traumatic experiences have had on your life. During trauma therapy, you and an experienced therapist confront these experiences and the emotional impact it is had. This helps to reduce your symptoms of stress and anxiety and improve your overall mental health and well being.

Over capacity, under staffed. Unfriendly professional staff (front desk people are fine). Uncommunicative. DONT RECOMMEND. Harrisburg Hospital had MUCH better staff and treatment.I love this is the template response to every complaint. "Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

If I could give a rating of less than zero, I would.Here are my notes to my cousin (she s not on Facebook) about my most recent hospital experience at Holy Spirit Hospital. I was just glad to get out of there alive. Supposedly they asked someone from Patient Care to talk to me, but that never happened.I m feeling up to writing more today. Here s why the hospital was so bad:Left me in operating room for like two to three hours after surgery was over because they didn t have a clean room, once I got to a room, they left me dirty from blood and other matter for three hours until I was able to get cleaned up, nurse change at seven and didn t see a nurse until midnight and came in again at one and two am until I had my bedtime meds and insulin, let my sugar stay high without giving me insulin for quite some time, didn t give me the medication I m supposed to have for meals to keep my phosphorus from going up, didn t have antibiotics needed to put in my port ready for my trip to the operating room again thus delaying my procedure, made me lay on a bed for dialysis that I could painfully feel the metal bar going up the bed because the bed was so old and the mattress practically non existent, could not provide a wheelchair for me to use to go to the bathroom because the doorway wasn t wide enough for the chair thus forcing me to use a bedpan. I think that sums up most of it. Next time I ll avoid the trauma center and risk bleeding to death before I ll go to Holy Spirit Hospital again. Emergency Department and vascular team were great.

As much as I preferred this hospital over any and all hospitals in the area, I had a very horrible experience today when I was simply trying to get blood work to figure out the results of my pregnancy. I made it to the hospital around 5pm and did not leave until less than an hour ago ((it is now 11:30pm)). My biggest issue is the racism that radiated off of the male in his early 20s who seemed very feminine, dark hair, and diamond earrings, ((I don t want to assume he is gay and don t want to speak solely on his romantic preferences, however, after him, my family, and I had a back and forth he flipped his name tag so I had no way of figuring out his name on my own. He then approached another family of color in a distant and rude way but had no issue being more than polite within every interaction when it came to anyone white. Finally there was the issue of vitals, he was the one doing vitals and asked if he could do them for me, I asked for a different person to do it and he said he was the only one so I politely declined before another nurse taking vitals came in and he sent her out and told her he was doing the entire room mere seconds after I had just made my commentary and did not even attempt to make sure my vitals were done by this other person.I will NOT be coming back.

Had a good experience with them . Had a family member come in as a trauma patient and I felt the care team did their best . I have had some experience with hospital stays in other health networks so I feel qualified in being able to tell if there is good care or not .

Went to the Er on 8/13/24 for severe abdomen pain after diagnosis it was a kidney stone. The doctor decided to have me stay 1 night for observation. Was taken up to a room on 6th floor to hear a patient yelling obscenities in the same room. Got myself into bed, no one attending to me for 30min.Early morning of 8/14 (shift change) and 2 nurses were discussing my case and the 1 nurse was rolling her eyes (it made me feel "what am I doing here". Ordered a brkfst tray and 1\2 the things weren't on the tray. Hadn't eaten for 48 hours.Hospital doctor came in and I told her I was still having pain in my kidney that I would like a CT or ultrasound to find out where the stone is, she replied we don't do them and we will continue to give you pain meds. Pain meds don't get rid of a problem it covers it up. She wanted me to stay in the hospital but I didn't see a reason, if they were not going to do further testing. I decided to leave from all the disappointment from this stay. To top if off still heavily medicated they let me walk out by myself no help or assistance. That tells me alot about Holy Spirit, they really don't care! All I can say "Go somewhere else for care". What I went through it is not worth it.

I'm a retired 20 year Army veteran, there are many who can attest to my moral ethics,honesty and character, including numereous Generals active and retired and the current Secretary of Defense. Penn State Emergency room was outstanding, I did not have to wait. The several ER doctors that attended me kept me well informed and were professional, they were all excellent Doctors. I was informed they wanted to check me in as a patient to confirm if my issue was heart related or muscular and nerve. I was in agreement. I was an inpatient from 31 July until 1 August. On the floor the staff and doctors were professional and caring. The two Neurosurgeons I saw on my last day were excellent. They gave me a lot of info concerning my condition and a way forward to manage my pain or eliminate it. I highly reccomend a pay raise to keep those 2 excellent neurosurgeon doctors. I almost gave 5 stars. Now on toward what I did not like, they kept me woke throughout the night until morning taking blood and my blood pressure approximately every 3 to 4 hours. One night they took my blood pressure at 12 PM than the young man came into the room at 4 AM and hollered loudly to wake up! It's time to take your blood pressure! Keep in mind I was hooked to a heart monitor. The severe lack of sleep from them waking me every 3 to 4 hours, the medication, hospital enviroment and the pain from my issue kept my blood pressure very high, restful sleep is important to a lower blood pressure reading. Now at home my pressure is way below 130. The second issue is Dr.S who was the floor doctor informed me that he would put in writing that I was in pain and It could affect me not being able to work on some days but instead he wrote no restrictions,I believe he felt due to my job being a desk job it wasn't required, I complained so he changed it to I may need frequent breaks for 1 week due to pain. My supervisor had already approved me to work from home for a longer period because he knows I would not not lie about my pain and how the numerous medications would affect my alertness. I just wanted to see if Dr. S was a man of his word and if he sterotyped me. In addition some members of the staff including Dr.S was under the impression that I could not leave the hospital under my own free will. Federal and State law states no hospital can illegally forcibly hold any patient unless they are mentally incapicitated or physically unable to walk with some other exceptions that would not apply to me or most independent patients, a patient that want to leave immediately would receive an AMA discharge, even though I was discharged I stayed to get xrays done and planned to leave from there, the patient transport that took me to get my xrays told me that I could not leave from the radiology department even though I had my discharge papers and if I did security would forcibly take me down and bring me back. He claimed it happened numerous times in the past. He stated it was the hospital policy. He had refused to take me in a wheel chair but instead insisted on rolling me in a bed that was used many times without changing the sheets plus I was able to walk and prefered the wheel chair that was available. His comment gave me the impression I was being forcibly detained against my will as if I was a criminal. It was if I was not paying them for professional medical service. If there was an attempt to forcibly keep me by security especially with my muscular disc issue and pain than I would have levied criminal charges and sought out the best lawyers which I can afford for a major lawsuit against the hospital and I would have contacted the Senator and VA Affairs at the congressional level for mistreatment of a retired honorably served veteran. I almost gave 3 stars because of this but the ER doctors, most of the staff and the 2 Neurosurgeons were of excellent caliber. Holy Spirit need to retrain the staff on patient release in accordance with the law or change their policy before some of their staff have criminal charges levied against them and they receive a huge lawsuit.

I gave it one star just to be nice. The nurses don't know what they are doing. We had to tell them what to do. My sister fell of a horse. When i got to the emergency room, it was horrible. They cut her clothes off, they didn't clean her wounds. Had to tell them to clean it so she will not get infected. When giving her med in iv the never clean or cleared the port. The doctor gave us no information what was going on. My sister couldn't use a bed pain, but told her she would have to walk to the bathroom. When she couldn't the nurse keep smiling saying see you can't walk to the bathroom you have to use the bed pan. Over and over i told her to get a wheel chair that she can use, not walking down the hall. She finally said ok. My sister was not offended no hospital socks so she would of have to walk down the hall naked back open. When wheeled in the bathroom room the nurse kept running in the walls and smiling. (By the way the will chair was dirty and she told her to sit. I told her to put a pad down because she has no underwear on, they cut it off). When we got in the bathroom the seat had dried pee on the seat and the nurse told her to get on, for her to get up on her on to sit on it with no help. I put lots of toilet paper the toilet seat to cover it. So i did then helped her to the toilet. When the nurse left, 3 mins later there was a bang on the down. My sister couldn't go. We went back to the room in the wheelchair asking where is the doctor, my sister is in a lot of pain. Didn't help at all. They didn't X-ray my sister's finger, found out later it was broken when we said something about here finger. This hospital needs to hire real nurses real doctors. Because un the hospital, it seems they just came off the street and given doctor and nurse positions. Don't ever go there. Tell the EMT talk you some where else.
